EDITORIAL Bienvenidos lectores. Por fin las elecciones locales ya se nos han quedado atrás y ya se ha formalizado el gobierno local.

Esperemos que después de tantas campañas con el ánimo tirante y áspero durante muchos años, los rivales ahora se puedan dar la mano y que todo vaya bien.

Mientras, nosotros estamos deseando que llegue el verano y todo lo que traiga éste. El verano con su torrente de ferias y fiestas que ya empiezan este mes con la Noche de San Juan, el 23 de Junio.

Para la mayoría de las personas es realmente esta fecha el comienzo del verano, así pues asegúrese de anotarlo en su agenda.

Sabinillas es la sede del Festival Anual Internacional de Manilva, el cual este año se celebrará durante tres días, desde el 22 hasta el 24 de Julio y promete ser un gran fin de semana de entretenimiento, comida y diversidad cultural del municipio.

Estepona celebra su Feria de verano desde el 5 hasta el 10 de julio, y le sigue otra fiesta como es la celebración de la Virgen del Carmen, 16 de Julio, cuando los

Welcome readers, at last the local elections are behind us and the shape of the local governments been finalised. Hopefully after some of the most acrimonious campaigning for many years, the rivals can now kiss and make up whilst we can look forward to the summer and all that it brings.

Well the summer well and truly kicks off this month with a steady stream of ferias and fiestas starting on the 23rd June with Noche de San Juan, the midsummer celebrations, which will be taking place on many of the Coast’s beaches. For most people this heralds the true start of the summer so make sure you note it in your diary.

Sabinillas plays host to Manilva’s annual International Festival which this year will be held over three days from the 22nd to 24th July and promises to be a great weekend of entertainment, food and celebration of the municipality’s cultural diversity.

Estepona celebrates its Summer Feria from the 5th to the 10th July closely followed by another major festival in the shape of Virgen del Carmen, on the 16th July, when the fishermen of the region pay homage to their patron

pescadores de la región hacen homenaje a su Santa Patrona.

Podéis encontrar más detalles de estos eventos y ocios en la edición de este mes, al igual que en nuestra página web www.theresident.es Seriamente, ahora que el verano está aquí, tenemos que tener precaución con varias cosas. Por favor, presten atención a sus hijos en las piscinas. Todos los años sufrimos fatales accidentes en piscinas, asegúrense de que estén siempre y constantemente vigilados por alguien. El otro gran problema es el fuego, este año será incluso más peligro debido a la cantidad de combustible esparcido durante el invierno de lluvias que hemos tenido. Aparte de las colillas, tengan cuidado al aparcar su coche sobre la hierba larga y seca ya que debido al tubo de escape y los frenos se han producido también fuegos.

Perdónenme si sueno como si estuviese dando un sermón, pero con un poquito de sentido común, todos podemos disfrutar de los meses de verano en paz y tranquilidad.

Hasta el próximo mes…

saint.

You can find details of these events and more in this month’s issue, as well as on our website www.theresident.es On a serious note, now that the summer is here, there are just a few things to be careful. Please watch your kids around swimming pools. Every year we suffer the tragedy of fatal pool accidents, often through a moment’s lack of supervision, so make sure someone is keeping an eye on them.

The other big problem of the summer is fire, which this year has been made all the more dangerous by the huge amount of ‘fuel’ which has sprung up as a result of recent wet winters. Apart from the obvious precautions such as not lighting fires or barbecues in the campo, or carelessly discarding cigarette ends, be careful when pulling your car off the road into long grass or dry vegetation as hot exhaust or brakes have been the cause of many a fire.

Sorry if I sound a bit preachy, but with a little bit of common sense, we can all enjoy the coming summer months with peace of mind.

Until next month...

Friends and Neighbours of Marina de Casares The Club’s golf tournament was played at the Casares Costa Golf Club on 19th May with weather that one would have expected in mid August. The ‘Club Members Trophy’ was won by Ron Bunn, however the overall winner was Terry Young, one of the guest players. Both of these players were presented with prizes for their achievements. Lunch was served at the ‘Brasserie’ whose owners generously donated some of the prizes. They also supplied live music to dance to. The day proved to be a very happy and successful day for most.

Éxito de la I Cata de Vinos del Ciclo Superior The English Bookshop, Sabinillas

By Alma Borg de Vitivinicultura

La iniciativa del equipo docente del Ciclo Superior de Vitivinicultura de organizar una Primera Cata de Vinos guiada por los alumnos matriculados en el Ciclo tuvo una magnífica acogida. El acto se celebró en las instalaciones del futuro Centro de Interpretación “Viñas de Manilva” (CIVIMA), del Ayuntamiento de Manilva. La organización del evento estuvo a cargo de los alumnos y docentes del propio Ciclo con la colaboración de los alumnos y equipo docente y directivo de la Escuela Taller “Viñas de Manilva”.

La Fundación de Manilva para el Desarrollo, en calidad de Entidad Colaboradora y Patrocinadora del Ciclo Superior de Vitivinicultura conjuntamente con el Instituto de Enseñanza Secundaria “Las Viñas” de Manilva, aportó los recursos técnicos necesarios para el desarrollo de la Cata, así como su difusión y promoción en los medios de comunicación locales y provinciales.

La inauguración fue realizada por el Vicepresidente de FUNMADES, Don Diego Díaz Jiménez y por el Concejal Delegado de Educación; seguidamente un alumno del Ciclo Superior hizo una amena introducción didáctica sobre conceptos elementales con el objetivo de que los 35 asistentes se familiarizaran con las particularidades de la cata.

Los diferentes alumnos del Ciclo fueron presentando cada uno de los vinos seleccionados con apoyo de diapositivas digitales, explicando las características visuales, aromáticas y gustativas del vino, dinamizando con los asistentes para que cada uno aportara los matices que la degustación les evocara.

Las bodegas que participaron, aportaron los vinos gratuitamente para esta Primera Cata del Ciclo Superior, por lo que queremos manifestarles nuestro agradecimiento por su colaboración, además de haber tenido la oportunidad de catar caldos excelentes, en algunos casos desconocidos para los asistentes.

Al final de la Cata se ofreció un aperitivo elaborado y organizado por los propios alumnos del Ciclo Superior por lo que se disfrutó de un ambiente distendido y ameno entre los asistentes y los alumnos de Vitivinicultura.

La I Cata de Vinos supone el colofón al primer curso de este Ciclo Superior de Vitivinicultura que lejos de ser un proyecto únicamente académico quiere acercar su potencial a la sociedad manilveña haciéndola partícipe en sus objetivos logrados, un nivel de formación óptimo de los alumnos y referente en la formación de expertos en la gestión de la vitivinicultura en la provincia de Málaga.

Manilva Wine School celebrates its first year Manilva’s Wine School celebrated its first year with a wine tasting at the Manilva Wine Centre. Established in 2009 the school has around 15 students from all walks of life, including a vet, a dentist, a footballer, a school caretaker, etc., who have been working towards qualification as technicians in the grape and wine industry. The course, which is presented

by Pedro Calleja and Laura Macias, both with many years in the industry, involves instruction on all aspects of the industry from the growing of the vines, harvesting, and on to the production and marketing of the wines. On qualification the graduates will be qualified to work throughout Spain and Europe.

The wine tasting was attended by a number

of invited guests, who were treated to a brief lecture by local dentist, and student of the school, Victor Hugo who explained the techical process of tasting - examining the wine for colour, clarity, smell (nose) and finally the various stages of taste.

On offer were a number of wines, all of which hailed from Andalucia, including a fino, manzanilla, rosado, reds and dessert wines, all of which were appreciated by the tasters.

The school is accepting enrolment for the next school year which begins in September so if you are interested, bearing in mind you will need a good level of Spanish, then get in touch with Manilva Town Hall’s Education department.

The English Bookshop’s been there forever! Well not quite, but from 1992 when Lynne Mortiboys opened a small shop next to MiSuper supermarket (where the Chinese emporium is today) there has been an English bookshop in Sabinillas, with the shop moving to its present location around 1997.

We, Alma and Eddie Borg, have owned the business for 12 years and in that time have met so many lovely people, and hope that we made everyone feel at home in the shop. Twelve years is a long time and now with retirement beckoning and Eddie’s illhealth it’s time to step aside. We will miss the bustle of the shop, it has become a

centre for residents and tourists alike. The recently acquired postal service has been welcomed, and also having all the free papers brings people into the shop.

We will be handing over to the new owner at the end of June. his name is Steve Davis, and some of you will know him as he has lived in Spain for ten years, and taught English and Spanish for a time. He says he will not jump in and change things straightaway, so rest assured everyone will still get their copy of The Resident!

Please support him as much as you have all supported us. We would like to say a big thank you and goodby to all our loyal customers.

Manilva Solicitors CONTRACTOS DE ALQUILER Y ARRENDAMIENTO En los últimos meses, hemos recibido 3 o 4 consultas sobre temas de arrendamiento cada semana, probablemente debido a la crisis y a los problemas financieros que mucha gente está sufriendo en la actualidad. Hay demasiados inquilinos que no pagan sus rentas mensuales y demasiados arrendadores desesperados por estas situaciones.

Por desgracia, frecuentemente la gente acude a nosotros sin contratos de alquiler firmados o con contratos no redactados correctamente.

Esta es una de las partes más delicadas del derecho español y, por tanto, antes de firmar un contrato de arrendamiento o alquiler es esencial tener adecuado asesoramiento y consejo.

Independientemente de si eres un arrendador o arrendatario, no solicitar asesoramiento legal profesional cuando un contrato de alquiler se va a firmar por escrito, bien sobre viviendas o locales comerciales, puede causar serios problemas en el futuro. Como ejemplo, un inquilino puede legalmente estar en una propiedad alquilada durante 5 años.

Los contratos verbales son legalmente validos en España pero nosotros recomendamos tener un contrato por escrito que incluya las cláusulas apropiadas para proteger tus derechos.

Aunque las leyes españolas establecen los derechos y obligaciones de propietarios e inquilinos, la ley permite a los mismos establecer cláusulas y términos especiales en los contratos de alquiler, por lo que es recomendable buscar asesoramiento profesional y redactar el contrato de forma que refleje perfectamente nuestros requisitos personales.

Hay muchos aspectos que deben ser claramente detallados. Además de mencionar el nombre del propietario e inquilino, la situación de la propiedad, la duración del contrato y la fecha y cuantía de las rentas, el acuerdo también puede incluir otros acuerdos de las partes, tales como:

1. Garantía

de habitabilidad. El propietario debe ofrecer un lugar seguro e higiénico a los inquilinos.

El propietario puede ser requerido a proporcionar extintores u otros enseres como horno, frigorífico, friegaplatos, etc. deben hacerse las 2. Como comunicaciones de acuerdos o problemas entre propietarios e inquilinos, y como se resolverán.

3. Que ocurre cuando una reparación debe ser realizada por el propietario o por el inquilino.

4. Cuando y cuanto el propietario un contrato de arrendamiento normal de puede incrementar la renta.

9. Posibilidad de que propietario o inquilino pasen sus derechos y obligaciones a un tercero.

10. Quien paga las cuotas de comunidad, IBI o seguro de hogar.

Siempre es mejor prevenir desencuentros antes de firmar, deje que su abogado lea cuidadosamente el contrato y le sugiera quitar o cambiar clausulas que, en su opinión profesional, pudieran limitar sus derechos, o perjudicarle de alguna forma en el futuro. Los abogados conocen la ley española y también pueden redactar un contrato nuevo que se adapte a sus necesidades. El abogado también solicitara y organizará que la otra parte firme el contrato.

Manilva Solicitors TENANCY & RENTAL CONTRACTS Over the past few months, we have received 3 or 4 enquiries on tenancy and rental contracts every week, probably due to the crisis and financial problems people are currently suffering. There are too many tenants not paying their monthly rents and too many landlords desperate with these situations.

Unfortunately, more often than not people come to us with no signed rental contract or with tenancy contracts not properly drafted.

This is one of the most delicate parts of the Spanish Law, and, therefore, before signing a rental or tenancy document the right guidance and advice is vital.

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, not requesting professional legal advice when you are going to sign a written Rental Contract, or an agreement concerning residential or commercial property, can cause serious problems in the future. For example, a tenant could legally stay in a rental property for up to 5 years.

Oral agreements are legally valid in Spain but we strongly recommend you have a written lease that includes appropriate clauses to protect your interests.

Although the Spanish Law governs the rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords, the Law allows them to establish special clauses and terms in these Rental Contracts, so it is advisable to seek professional guidance and draft the contract in such a way that it reflects perfectly your personal requirements.

There are also many points that must be clearly detailed. A part of the contract specifies the name of the landlord and the

tenant, the location of the property, the duration of the lease and the due date and amount of rental payment. The agreement can also include any other legal provisions to which both parties agree, such as: 1.

Warranty of habitability. A Landlord must provide a safe and sanitary place for tenants. A Landlord can be required to provide fire extinguishers and other such fixtures as ovens, refrigerators, sinks, etc.

2. How communications and notifications of agreements, problems or understandings between landlord and tenant will be resolved.

3. What happens when repairs legally required are not made by landlord or tenant?

4. When, and how much can the landlord increase the rent?

5. Who has the responsibility for the maintenance?

6. Guidelines for any repairs to the house.

7. Is it possible to sub-let the property?

8. Penalties for breaking the lease by the tenant or the landlord.

9. The possibility that landlords or tenants have of passing their rights and obligations on to another person.

10. Who pays; community fees, IBI local property taxes, and home insurance?

It is always better to prevent misunderstandings before signing, please let your solicitor read the lease carefully and suggest deleting or changing any clauses that, in his professional opinion

could severely limit your rights, or could prejudice you in some way in the future.

Solicitors know the Spanish Law and can also draw up a new lease proposal that suits your needs. The solicitor will also request and organise that the other party signs the contract. Let your solicitor use his knowledge to protect your interests.

As an indication, normal legal fees for preparing, revising and negotiating normal residential Rental Contracts are around 300 Euros so it is well worth seeking legal advice to get a first-rate rental contract which will protect your legal rights and prevent possible unnecessary expense in the future.

Should you already have a rental problem because your tenant does not pay the rent, or because your landlord wants you leave the property, it is also sensible to take legal advice as soon as possible. From our experience the sooner you take legal action the better, as the longer a problem is left; the more difficult it is to sort out.

Los coches de lujo dan colorido a las calles del término El pasado 5 de junio, Manilva se convirtió en el escaparate de los coches de lujo, ya que recibió la visita de una quincena de vehículos de la firma ferrari, y también vehículos antiguos, que recorrieron distintos puntos del término.

Lo explicaba la alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz, quien aseguraba que el Ayuntamiento ya contactó con el Real Club del Automóvil a fin de que se incluya a Manilva en el itinerario de esta concentración.

Después de ir recorriendo el municipio

y de ser recibidos por las autoridades municipales, en el Puerto de la Duquesa permanecieron expuestos para que fueran visitados por todos los curiosos.

Los conductores participantes en esta concentración también pudieron disfrutar de un almuerzo en un restaurante del Puerto de la Duquesa.

La alcaldesa manifestaba que este tipo de eventos son los que garantizan la promoción del municipio y con un mínimo coste para las arcas municipales.

Ferrari Club visits Manilva On June 5, Manilva reverberated to the unmistakeable sound of finely tuned high performance Ferrari engines as the Andalucia Ferrari Owners Club dropped by for a visit.

After a civic reception at the Town Hall in Manilva during which Mayoress Antonia Muñoz greeted the club’s president, Toni Dalli. The convoy of ten Ferraris then set off on a tour of Manilva and Sabinillas before parking up on the harbourside in Puerto de

la Duquesa whilst the members and their guests enjoyed a meal at Il Capitano in the Port.

The club were treated to entertainment

by Trevor Brooks, along with flamenco dancing by Silvia and Yvonne.

The mayoress hopes to bring add more events like this to the calendar, which helps to promote the municipality at minimum cost to public funds.

Noche de San Juan Se celebra todos los años en la noche del 23 de Junio hasta la madrugada del día 24 (Día de San Juan).

Hay diferentes maneras de celebrar la noche de San Juan, en la mayoría se celebra con una hoguera. En muchos municipios la celebración central es la “Quema de los bigotes de San Juan”, donde figuras de cartón piedra, muchas de naturaleza satírica, son paseadas por la ciudad antes de su quema en la playa.

En Sabinillas, un gran escenario es construido en la playa unos días antes de su celebración. Esta obra de arte está basada en un tema diferente cada año, y es casi un “crimen” cuando a medianoche se prende fuego. Es

costumbre también mojarse en el mar para dejar atrás la mala suerte.

Otra tradición es para los hombres jóvenes de la ciudad es saltar y pasar cerca de las llamas, una vez que el fuego está un poco más bajo.

En la Noche, normalmente, hay fuegos artificiales, música en vivo y baile hasta altas horas de la madrugada.

Sabinillas, no es la única en celebrar esta Fiesta, Estepona celebra un concurso para los “mejores bigotes” y Casares disfruta de música en vivo, fuegos artificiales y sardinas en la playa de Marina de Casares, al igual que otras localidades que merecen la pena visitar como San Roque, Taraguilla y Torreguadiaro.

Noche de San Juan This is held each year on the evening of the 23rd of June and goes on into the early hours of the 24th (Dia de San Juan).

It’s the old pagan midsummer celebration which has been ‘Christianified’ by tacking it on to a convenient Saint’s day (if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em sort of thing).

There are a number of traditional ways of celebrating Saint John’s Night most of which involve a good bonfire. In many municipalities the central celebration is the ‘Quema de los bigotes de San Juan’ - literally ‘burning of the moustaches’ where large papier mache figures, many of a satirical nature, are paraded through the town before being burnt on the beach.

In Sabinillas a huge tableau is constructed on the beach a few days before the event.

This work of art is based on a different theme every year, and it is almost a crime

when, around midnight, the whole thing is set alight. It is also customary at this time to walk into the sea to wash away any bad luck.

Another tradition is for the young men of the town to jump or dive over the bonfires once they have died down a bit, the higher the flames, the greater the challenge.

The night is usually marked by firework displays, live music and dancing until the early hours of the morning.

Sabinillas is by no means the only town hosting San Juan celebrations, Estepona holds a competition for the best ‘bigotes’, and Casares enjoys live music, bonfires and sardines on the beach at Marina de Casares, with other towns worth a visit are San Roque, Taraguilla and Torreguadiaro who all stage celebrations of one sort or another.

Tapacadabra en el Roman Oasis El restaurante Roman Oasis ya está abierto de nuevo. Después de 29 años con los mismos propietarios el restaurante, cerca de Manilva, ha cambiado su formato y horario de apertura. Por primera vez en 10 años, está abierto durante el día desde junio hasta septiembre con una selección de 15 tapas diferentes y unos 15 platos ligeros también.

El propietario Paul Hickling está tan entusiasmado con su restaurante de ahora como lo estuvo en 1983 cuando lo abrió y dice: “Me hace feliz abrir de nuevo, me había olvidado lo hermoso que es el ambiente aquí a la luz del día. También, veo un montón de clientes nuevos, al igual que algunos clientes antiguos que preferían venir durante el día y aquellos con un presupuesto donde preferían tapear que comer barbacoa o gran buffet por la noche. También he incluido mi “Hora superfeliz”, porque no creo que “feliz” sea bastante, sino “superfeliz”.

Durante los meses de julio y Agosto se abrirá el restaurante todas las tardesnoches para el buffet y barbacoas donde se podrá cenar bajo las estrellas en un ambiente encantador. ¿Qué más hace que Roman Oasis sea

especial? Bien, las sillas son todas muy confortables y cómodas, las mesas no se tambalean, el ambiente y la atmósfera es encantadora y el servicio es intachable. Los niños tienen su lugar propio, un espacio especialmente dedicados a ellos, lleno de aventuras y juegos donde podrán divertirse y pasarlo bien, al igual que los mayores.

Pueden elegir el sitio que prefieran para sentarse y disfrutar de la comida o cena, una gran mesa circular con un centro de mesa fuera de lo corriente o pueden sentarse en una mesa Pagoda romántica, traída especialmente desde Tailandia. Así pues, si quieren probar algo totalmente diferente, vengan a Roman Oasis y disfruten de ello.

Para encontrar el restaurnate Roman Oasis, coja la rotonda del supermercado Lidl en Sabinillas y diríjase hacia el recinto ferial o a donde ponen el mercado de los domingos, siga hacia el camino de los Baños Romanos, tres kilómetros por esta carretera, o también desde la autopista, coja la salida 142 Manilva- Casares y siga las señales.

Buffet and Barbecues where you can dine under the stars in an enchanted setting. What else makes The Roman Oasis special? Well, the chairs are all comfortable, the tables don’t wobble, the atmosphere is infectious and the service faultless. Children have their own, out-ofearshot secure adventure area complete with a First World War Howitzer and a skeleton in a cage to frighten them! Your choice of table could include a circular 21-seater with an unusual centerpiece, or a romantic Pagoda table brought lovingly all the way from Thailand. So, if you want to try something completely different head for The Roman Oasis.

To find The Roman Oasis turn inland at Lidls in Sabinillas onto the road to the Sunday Market and the famous Roman Baths and they’re 3 kms along this road, or from the Motorway take Exit 142 Manilva/Casares and follow the signs.

Tapacadabra at the Roman Oasis Now open for its 29th year under the same ownership The Roman Oasis Restaurant, near Manilva, has changed its format and opening times. This year it’s open during the day from June to September for the first time in ten years serving a selection of 15 different tapas and some 15 other light meals.

The proprietor Paul Hickling is as enthusiastic about his restaurant today as he was in 1983 when he first opened it and says, ‘It’s great opening days again and I’d forgotten how lovely the atmosphere is here in the sunlight.

Also I’m seeing a lot of new customers, some old customers who used to prefer the days and those on a budget where tapas suit their pockets better than the big evening Barbecue and Brutus Buffet.

I’ve also introduced my ‘Overjoyed Hour’, because I don’t think ‘Happy’ is good enough!’ July and August they will be open every evening for Brutus’

Cuando hace 100 años Raul Capablanca conquisto el titulo Mundial lo hizo con maniobras de caballo elegantes y certeras. Raul Capablanca fue el Mozart del Ajedrez, su forma de jugar era simpatica y caballerosa. Habra tal vez mejores jugadores que este sensacional Campeon mundial Cubano, pero nunca volvera a nacer un artista de la dimension de Raul Capablanca.

The knight in chess The Knight is the most surprising figure in chess, it is able to jump over other pieces and enable incredible strategies and tactics.

When Raul Capablanca took the World Title some 100 years ago, he did so with knight manoevres that were both elegant and accurate. He was the Mozart of chess, playing in a friendly and gentlemanly manner. There are without doubt better players than this sensational Cuban World Champion, but there will never be another with his artistry.

García Urbano promete seriedad institucional para recuperar la marca Estepona

El Ayuntamiento reducirá en al menos cuatro los cargos de confianza l pleno de Estepona ha aprobado las retribuciones de los integrantes de la corporación municipal y de cargos de confianza, que supondrá un ahorro de 328.930 euros brutos anuales, respecto al coste que se generaba por los mismos conceptos al final del anterior mandato.

El sueldo que perciben los miembros del gobierno municipal se ajustan a lo establecido por la Federación Andaluza de Municipios y Provincias (FAMP).

La propuesta municipal persigue el “ahorro económico” dentro de la política de austeridad que marcará las líneas de actuación del nuevo equipo de gobierno que lidera el alcalde de Estepona, José María García Urbano. Así, al final del anterior mandato cuando el equipo de gobierno contaba con nueve integrantes en el ejecutivo local, el coste total de las retribuciones de los miembros de la corporación ascendía a 756.000 euros

El alcalde de Estepona, José María García Urbano, se ha marcado como objetivo recuperar la marca y el prestigio de Estepona mediante una labor de seriedad institucional, normalidad democrática, eficacia en la gestión de los servicios y cumplimiento más escrupuloso del principio de legalidad. “Desde aquí me comprometo a realizar una constante labor de renuncia o no utilización de las potestades administrativas exuberantes,

a reducir los plazos de respuesta de la administración, a cumplir los convenios, los compromisos, las resoluciones judiciales y las concesiones administrativas establecidas, a separarme de las vidriosas estructuras mercantiles y a replegarme a las estrictas y muy necesarias normas de Derecho Administrativo”, ha señalado García Urbanao durante el discurso de investidura.

New Mayor, Garcia Urbano, promises to restore Estepona’s reputation The new Mayor of Estepona, José María García Urbano, has set out as his goal the task of restoring the brand and prestige of Estepona, by returning the municipality to democratic normality, and implementing efficient management of local services and observing strict compliance with regulations and the law.

During his inaugural speech, José María García Urbano pledged to reduce response times by the administrative departments, to honour agreements, commitments, judicial decisions and concessions and to create a return to transparency throughout the administration.

Estepona Summer Fair Estepona celebrates its annual summer fair next month from the 5th to 10th July. There will be a whole host of activities and entertainment both in the town and on the fairground.

At the time of going to press the full programme was not available but we will publish it for you on our website www.theresident.es as soon as it is available.

Estepona’s new council reduces by four the number of ‘positions of trust’ At the first regular council meeting since the elections, the government of Estepona approved the new scale of wages and expenses for the members of the council and those in positions of trust, which will save 328,930 euros per year compared to the scale of remuneration set by the previous administration. These salaries conform to the guidelines set by the Federation of Andalucian Municipalities and Provinces.

The purpose is to reduce the costs of government under the policy of austerity that marks the main priority of the new government team led by the Mayor, José María García Urbano. During the last term

Members love to socialise and often meet up both formally and informally for a cup or a copa.

So when sisters and founder-members Sonia and Hermione Longman suggested the next money-raising party night should have a Roman theme, their idea was enthusiastically adopted.

The Roman-themed party will be held at the Longmans’ private villa, near Estepona, on Saturday July 10th.

Partygoers will be encouraged to ‘dress

appropriately for the theme’ according to Hermione, who with her sister runs the popular Longman’s Bookshop in Plaza Manilva, Estepona.

Tickets at £30 a head (£35 after July 2nd) can be obtained from the shop or ordered by ringing 952 800 975.

The inclusive price includes Romanthemed food and drink.

So if you’re an animal lover, just fancy a fun night out - or both! Get your tickets now and have a good time whilst doing a good deed; supporting the only Esteponabased charity which takes in and rehomes abandoned animals.

Por el contrario, con el nuevo equipo de gobierno, formado por 17 concejales, las retribuciones de la corporación local serán 665.000 euros anuales. Con esta propuesta municipal, el Ayuntamiento pretende hacer frente a las deudas y a la “complicada” situación económica que se ha heredado de las anteriores equipos de gobierno.

El personal eventual se ha reducido en al menos cuatro personas, con un total de 17 cargos eventuales, frente a los 21 cargos de confianza y contratos de alta dirección de las empresas municipales que estaban contratados en el anterior mandato. De esta forma, el personal eventual supondrá un gasto bruto anual de 672.000 euros, frente a los 910.000 euros anuales que se abonaban en el anterior mandato.

the governing body had nine members with a total cost to the Town Hall coffers of 756,000 euros per year.

By contrast the new government, which consists of 17 councillors, will have a total salary bill of just 665,000 euros per year.

This is just one of the measures introduced to address Estepona’s huge debts and ‘difficult’ economic situation which has been inherited from the former government.

The number of temporary ‘positions of trust’ has been cut from 21 to 17, just one per councillor.

Thus the staff wage bill will be 672,000 euros annually, as opposed to the previous 910,000 euros.

García Urbano da instrucciones para retirar los restos arqueológicos que bloquean desde hace años la construcción del centro hospitalario de Estepona El alcalde solicita a la Junta de Andalucía el permiso para realizar las excavaciones en los terrenos afectados por estos vestigios y anuncia que exigirá “con firmeza” que se ejecute este equipamiento .

CLÍNICA QUIROPRÁCTICA EN ESTEPONA Se sabe que millones de pacientes se han beneficiado con esta ciencia de salud natural. Muchos adelantos se han producido en los más de 100 años de historia de la quiropráctica, pero probablemente el principio ha sido la aceptación del público por los resultados obtenidos.

En los últimos años, la ciencia ha comprobado lo que muchos pacientes han sabido por décadas: la quiropráctica es eficaz.

Hecho científico La quiropráctica se basa en el hecho científico de que el sistema nervioso controla la función de prácticamente cada célula, tejido, órgano y sistema del cuerpo.

Múltiples estudios que han comparado los tratamientos que utilizan fármacos o cirugías con el tratamiento quiropráctico, han demostrado la efectividad y rapidez de este último.

La primera visita consta de un repaso de su historial médico, un examen completo de movimiento (análisis biomecánico), evaluaciones neurológicas, ortopédicas y kinesiológicas (estudio de los músculos).

Educación abarcadora

La ciencia de la quiropráctica requiere un énfasis especial en anatomía, fisiología, patología, neurología, biomecánica, radiología, al igual que técnicas de ajuste espinal y de las extremidades.

Especialidades Existen especialidades dentro de la quiropráctica después de que se obtiene el grado de doctor en quiropráctica. Éstas son en ortopedia, radiología, neurología, medicina deportiva, rehabilitación, nutrición, medicina ocupacional y medicina familiar.

Exámenes y educación continua Al igual que los doctores de otras especialidades, los doctores en quiroprática asisten a seminaRíos de educación continua para mantener sus licencias vigentes y ponerse al día con los avances tecnológicos. Además también siguen un estricto código de ética.

Seguridad La quiropráctica es segura. La quiropráctica tiene un excelente récord de seguridad.

Como es el resultado de un acercamiento natural y conservador de la salud, en muchos casos evita procedimientos

CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC IN ESTEPONA It’s known that millions of people have benefited from this natural health science.

Many advances have been made in the 100-year history of chiropractic, but probably the main one has been the public acceptance of the results obtained.

In recent years, science has proven what many patients have known for decades, chiropractic is effective.

Scientific fact Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of virtually every cell, tissue, organ and body system.

Multiple studies have compared the treatments using drugs or surgery with chiropractic treatment, they have demonstrated the effectiveness and speed of the latter.

The first visit includes a review of your medical history, a comprehensive review of movement (biomechanical analysis), neurological studies, orthopedics and kinesiology (study of the muscles).

Comprehensive education The science of chiropractic requires a special emphasis on anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, radiology, as well as spinal and limb adjustment techniques.

Specialties There are specialties within chiropractic after obtaining a doctorate in chiropractic.

These are in orthopedics, radiology, neurology, sports medicine, rehabilitation, nutrition, occupational medicine and family medicine.

Examinations and Further Education Just as doctors from other specialties, chiropractic doctors attend educational seminars to keep their licenses current and catch up with technological advances.

In addition, they also follow a strict code of ethics.

Safety Chiropractic is safe. Chiropractic has an excellent safety record. As the result of

a natural and conservative approach to health, in many cases avoids invasive procedures or the complications of active drugs.

Benefits Chiropractic doctors treat more than just spinal problems. Chiropractic doctors are well known for successfully treating low back pain and related problems. However, many doctors of chiropractic problems also work with neuromusculoskeletal (nerves, muscles, bones) from other parts of the spine (neck and middle back) and extremities (problems of the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, etc.).

Chiropractic makes a difference. Most patients report how good it feels to receive a chiropractic adjustment. As treatment progresses, they respond positively, ie find relief from their symptoms.

Chiropractic is for all ages.

Different treatment techniques are used in accordance with age, poor health and physical condition of the patient. In particular, infants, children and young people respond to chiropractic treatment outstandingly.

Although not yet completed the scientific evidence reveals a large number of parents reporting that their children, chiropractic patients, have fewer colds, ear infections and other common health conditions in childhood.

Women who have received chiropractic care during pregnancy found that childbirth is less cumbersome and faster. The Elderly also benefit from chiropractic. Similarly, many athletes undergo chiropractic treatment to restore mobility of joints which are sometimes injured while practicing their sport.

Beneficios Los doctores en quiropráctica tratan mucho más que problemas de la columna vertebral. Los doctores en quiropráctica son reconocidos por tratar exitosamente dolores de espalda baja y problemas relacionados. Sin embargo, muchos doctores en quiropráctica trabajan además con problemas neuromusculoesqueléticos (nervios-músculos-huesos) de otras partes de la columna (cuello y media espalda) y de las extremidades (problemas de hombros, codos, muñecas, caderas, rodillas, tobillos, etc.).

Los ajustes quiroprácticos alivian.

La mayoría de los pacientes informan sobre lo bien que se siente al recibir un ajuste quiropráctico. Conforme progresa el tratamiento, éstos responden positivamente, es decir, encuentran alivio a sus síntomas.

La quiropráctica es para todas las edades.

Diferentes técnicas de tratamiento se utilizan de acuerdo con la edad, problemas de salud y condición física del paciente.

Particularmente, los bebés, niños y jóvenes responden sobresalientemente al tratamiento quiropráctico.

A pesar de que aún no se ha completado la evidencia científica, un gran número de padres han reportado que sus niños, pacientes quiroprácticos, enfrentan menos resfriados, infecciones de oído y otras condiciones de salud comunes en la niñez.

Mujeres que han recibido tratamiento quiropráctico durante su embarazo encuentran que el parto resulta menos incómodo y más rápido. Personas de edad avanzada también se benefician de la quiropráctica. Del mismo modo, muchos atletas se someten al tratamiento quiropráctico para restaurar la movilidad de coyunturas que a veces resultan lastimadas mientras practican su actividad deportiva.

Las mascotas también toman vacaciones

El número de hoteles de mascotas han aumentado en un 30 por ciento en España, 38 por ciento de los españoles tienen animales domésticos.

Cuando llega el verano y con él el deseo de viajar o planear una escapada, ¿qué hacemos con nuestras mascotas? Muchas personas dejan sus animales con la familia y otros quieren viajar con ellos, pero muchos no son conscientes de dónde pueden encontrar un alojamiento adecuado.

Cada año, en España hay un aumento en el número de establecimientos que aceptan mascotas. A fin de evitar la cruda realidad de abandono de animales que se produce tanto en verano como en cualquier otro período de vacaciones, la Fundación Affinity ha hecho una guía para viajar con animales que se destina a ayudar a los dueños para planificar sus vacaciones con su perro o gato. La guía está disponible en librerías y en la página web de la Fundación por 12.50 euros. En total hay 7.200 hoteles, cabañas y campings que aceptan mascotas.

Para las comunidades autónomas, la mayoría de los hoteles que aceptan animales se encuentran en Cataluña (679), seguida por Andalucía (542) y Castilla y León (293). En el otro extremo de la escala están las Islas Baleares, Galicia y las Islas Canarias. Esta última se ha duplicado el número

de “hoteles de mascotas” desde el año 2001 y en todas las regiones de España han experimentado una tasa de crecimiento del 30%. Es importante tener en cuenta que los hoteles con más estrellas, una calificación más alta, son aquellos que son más permisivos. En total cerca de 21% de los hoteles en España permiten perros y / o gatos.

Con respecto a las cabañas, la Junta de Castilla y León es la comunidad autónoma con mayor facilidad de aceptación de animales de compañía, las Islas Baleares se encuentran en el extremo de la cola de la clasificación. En sólo un año, sin embargo, el número de establecimientos con viviendas disponibles se ha pasado de 2.200 a 3.000 viviendas hoy en día.

Los campings son un alojamiento más permisivo, el 81% aceptan mascotas. Para las comunidades / regiones, Cataluña, está una vez más a la vanguardia con cerca de 292 campings. La guía también ofrece consejos prácticos e información sobre1.500 clínicas veterinarias y centros veterinarios y 240 servicios de emergencia y perreras donde los perros y los gatos pueden ser alojados.

Aquí hay unos consejos adicionales para tener en cuenta antes de viajar:

Salud Antes de iniciar un viaje debe visitar al veterinario para un chequeo y una revisión del pasaporte.

Pasaporte Perros, gatos y hurones que viajen dentro de los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea necesita un pasaporte.

Medios de transporte en los viajes El coche es el medio más simple y conveniente de viajar con animales. Cuando sea necesario, el animal puede salir, caminar, comer, beber o hacer sus necesidades.

Cosas de equipaje que necesitas llevar para su mascota No te olvides del collar, correa, alimentos, juguetes y champú. Es importante llevar una botella de agua fresca para el viaje (¡no sólo para ellos!).

Vet’s Corner Pets also spend the summer vacationing The number of pet-friendly hotels has increased by 30 percent in this country.

Some 38 percent of Spanish are living with pets.

When summer arrives and with it the desire to travel or plan a getaway, but what to do with our pets? Many people leave their animals with family and others want to travel and have them along, but many are unaware of the sites that can be found with suitable accommodations.

Each year in Spain there are increases in the number of establishments that accept pets. In order to avoid the stark reality of animal abandonment which occurs both in summer as well as in any other holiday period, the Affinity Foundation has made a guide for traveling with animals that is intended to help owners to plan holidays with your dog or cat. The guide is available at bookstores and on the website of the Foundation for 12.50 euros. In total there are 7200 hotels, cottages and campsites that accept pets.

For the autonomous communities, most hotels that accept animals are found in Catalonia (679 ), followed by Andalusia (542) and Castilla y Leon (293). At the other end of the scale are the Balearic Islands, Galicia and the Canary Islands.

The latter has doubled the number of “pet-friendly hotels” since 2001 and throughout all the regions of Spain they have experienced a 30% growth rate. It is important to note that the hotels with more stars, a higher rating, are those that are more permissive. All in all about 21% of hotels in Spain permit dogs and/or cats.

With regard to the cottages, the Castilla y León autonomous community will more

readily accepts pets. The Balearics are located in the tail end of the ranking, in just one year, however, the number of establishments with houses available there has passed from 2,200 to 3,000 houses there today.

The campsites are a more permissive accommodation, 81% pet friendly. For communities/region, Catalonia, again in the forefront with about 292 campsites.

The guide also offers practical advice and information on 1,500 veterinary hospitals and veterinary centres and 240 emergency service and cat kennels where dogs and cats may be boarded.

Here are a few additional bits to be conscious about and some tips before you travel: Health Before beginning a journey you should visit the veterinarian for a check-up and a review of the pet passport.

Passport Dogs, cats and ferrets traveling within Member States of the European Union need a passport.

Means of transport The car is the most simple and convenient means of traveling with animals.

When needed, the animal can get out, walk, eat, drink or relieve themselves.

Baggage musts to take for the animal Do not forget the collar, leash , food, toys and shampoo. It is important to bring a bottle of fresh water for the journey (not only for them!).

Works will begin on the first phase of the bicycle route; the department will continue to seel solutions for the regularisation of

rural properties; the processing of the adjustments to the General Plan, as well as the implementation of more streamlined procedures for planning applications, and more transparency within the department.

La Alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz y el Concejal de Infraestructuras Mario Jimenez anuncian el relanzamiento de las obras de caracter municipal

Una vez tomada posesión la nueva Corporación municipal y dentro de la campaña para mejorar la calidad de vida en Manilva, los Ediles han informado acerca de la continuación de las obras de embellecimiento y acondicionamiento de nuestras calles, así como de las reuniones en torno la Ciudad Deportiva, del inicio de la obra de Isaac Peral, del reinicio de la obra de La Barranca y también han informado acerca del proceso de licitación del proyecto de revitalización de Pozo del Rey. En cuanto al aparcamiento de Pozo del Rey y hasta el momento son más de 30 empresas las que se han interesado por una obra que puede marcar un hito en la urbanización de Manilva pueblo, unos trabajos que previsiblemente

comenzarán en un par de meses y que cambiarán la fisonomía de la citada zona de Manilva de forma permanente.

Por lo que se refiere a Sabinillas la obra más importante que se va a acometer de forma inmediata es la remodelación integral de la calle Isaac Peral, vía en la que se ubican la mayoría de las Entidades Bancarias, una zona que debido a su tránsito se encuentra altamente deteriorada y que permitirá su acondicionamiento y humanización.

Finalmente y por lo que se refiere a la Ciudad Deportiva se pretende mantener una reunión en los próximos días que permita llegar a un acuerdo acerca de las fechas de finalización de esta gran infraestructura.

The Mayoress of Manilva, Antonia Muñoz and Councillor for Infrastructure, Mario Jimenez, La Alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz y la Concejala de Asuntos Sociales Paqui Lopez hacen confirm forthcoming works and projects balance de la campaña de reparto de alimentos El pasado fin de semana ha concluido una nueva campaña de reparto de alimentos para tratar de ayudar a las familias y colectivos más desfavorecidos.

En este sentido la propia Edil ha querido remarcar de nuevo la existencia de la Delegación de Asuntos Sociales, donde se trata de buscar solución a aquellos problemas de carácter social que se vienen produciendo en nuestro término municipal día a día.

Reparando ya en los datos, en estos momentos existen más de 600 unidades familiares que vienen haciendo uso de la cobertura de alimentos que

la Delegación ofrece, gracias a su propia aportación y a la colaboración desinteresada de empresas y organismos no gubernamentales.

Finalmente la Alcaldesa Antonia Muñoz ha querido recalcar la máxima importancia de estos servicios con la coyuntura de crisis económica en que nos encontramos inmersos y en una época donde por parte del resto de Instituciones tanto a nivel Andaluz como estatal se viene intentando reducir de forma drástica los derechos y las coberturas de los ciudadanos.

The Mayoress, Antonia Muñoz, and Councillor for Social Affairs, Paqui Lopez, review the food distribution campaign Last weekend saw the conclusion of the latest campaign to distribute food among disadvantaged families and social groups in the area.

Councillor Paqui Lopez wishes to highlight the existence of the Social Affairs Department, which seeks to find solutions to social problems that arise in the municipality.

There are over 600 households benefitting from the food distribution scheme, thanks to the contributions and collaboration of the Town Hall, local companies and NGOs. Antonia Muñoz went on the emphasize the importance of the department in the current difficult economic situation in which some people find themselves.

Following the elections, the governing team are pushing forward the programme to improve the quality of life in the borough of Manilva, with continuation of the improvements and refurbishments to the streets and public areas in the area.

Construction continues on the Sports Centre in Sabinillas, and works are due to begin soon on Calle Isaac Peral, ‘Bank Row’ in Sabinillas.

Works have been restarted at La Barranca in Manilva, and tenders have been invited

for the Pozo del Rey car park.

Talking of Pozo del Rey, some 30 companies have expressed an interest in the work on this prestigious project, which will transform Manilva’s town centre.

Construction is expected to begin in a couple of months time.

In Sabinillas, apart from the Sports Centre, the most important project is the remodelling of Calle Isaac Peral, which has fallen into serious disrepair in recent years.

Costa Advice Bureau A Simple way to make an appointment with your doctor When you next need to make a doctor’s appointment, you can consider avoiding the journey to join the long queues at your Centro de Salud (health centre) and or save on the cost of calling a 902 telephone number. If you have access to the internet you will be surprised at how simple it is. All you need is to go to the Junta de Andalucía‘s webpage, link below.

Fill in your social security number and NIE and date of birth. This will take you to the following page where you have the option of choosing the date and time to suit you.

If there is not an appointment available at the chosen time, you will be given options of additional dates. Once you make your choice click on accept. You will be provided with a printable form with all the details. No printer? Jot down the details or save. The only drawback is for anyone not acquainted with the Spanish language. There is an option for English but not always reliable.

It would be worth taking the time and find someone to assist you in your first attempt.

For future use you will find this approach is simple and very convenient. http://www. juntadeandalucia.es/salud/sites/csalud/ portal/index.jsp It is a buyer’s market but are you purchasing a bargain?

With properties at an all time low many purchasers have decided to take avail of the many bargains available to purchase one of the many dwellings being offered at extraordinarily competitive prices.

Many of these are now being sold by the banks themselves who are even willing to lend considering mortgages at a hundred percent of the asking price. Be cautious and calculate the costs. Nobody seems willing to warn you that even though you may declare the full asking price, legally pay your taxes and costs; you will almost certainly be presented with a further tax bill within the year following your purchase.

The reason for this complement is due to two reasons, prices at an all time low and that most of the town halls assessed the valor catastral (the estimated value of your property) when the market was at an all time high. Take these two issues into consideration and you will understand that the price you have paid for your property will be much lower than the value placed on it. If you think the demand for the extra tax is of a considerable amount, it may be worth taking the matter up with the authorities and making a claim.

The Census and further information I have come across yet another forum where someone relocating to Spain was given incorrect information. I am sure we are all familiar with bar stool experts but this advice came from someone stating that they assisted the expatriate community to

a NIE or assist with residence applications.

Be careful who you employ to carry out these services as there are agents who have no training or sufficient knowledge to carry these transactions. Spanish bureaucracy is not only complicated and often confusing, take into account that the rules are continually changing so it is essential to understand the system and the differences between obtaining an NIE or Resident status. If you have decided to take up residency in Spain there is no need to obtain an NIE so avoiding the added costs and time involved. Apply for residence and your NIE will be included in the document. Other erroneous information is that to obtain the NIE, one would need to pay a visit to the town hall to register on the padron (census) the latter should only be carried out if you are taking out residency. You may not be planning to live in Spain full time and only need your fiscal number (Numero de identificacion extranjeros) so in this case registering on the census may alter your tax liabilities.

For those of you who have been on the system for many years remember to renew your and your family’s names on the census. When asked for proof that you are registered in the town hall and for any legal or fiscal transaction, you will be expected to provide an up to date issue of this certificate.

Making a Spanish will There are many websites given information on drawing up a Spanish will. There are two very important matters that are not usually discussed. The first is that when you make Spanish will and any additional testaments in other countries where you have assets, keep the descriptions in these wills totally separate. That is to say do not mention your assets in Spain in for example a British will or vice versa. This will complicate the matter when the will is being executed. The second and equally as important issue to take into account that as though correctly stated on various forums and websites that, the foreign resident has the advantage over his Spanish counterpart allowing the legal right to draw up a will in accordance to the law of their country or origin (A Spanish citizen is guided by the law of this land and does not have the choices the expatriate has) this is what can occur if the will is contested.

This probability may occur where there are children from a previous marriage or anyone who feels that they have been disinherited. It is highly likely that a court could supersede your wishes and if so the outcome could be that the court will decide on the side of the Law of Spain, arriving at the conclusion that the assets should be divided accordingly.

At a coffee morning on 8 April, CAP’s President Denise Ghazi was delighted to present ASPANDEM President Angel Martin and Director Jose Juan with a donation of €1158, being the amount raised by members from this event.

Very many thanks go to CAP member Anita Dowling who has championed this event for many years, and to everyone who helped raise this sum for such a worthy cause.

Club Charity and Pleasure is a friendly, social organisation based in El Paraiso, Estepona, meeting at 11 a.m. each Wednesday morning at El Paraiso Country Club for coffee; many

weeks there is a speaker. Weekly activities include bridge, whist and bowls, and members have recently started a choir.

Other events and excursions include visits to the theatre and exhibitions; lunches and dinners at different venues along the coast; mystery trips, etc. A full programme of events is published in CAP’s free quarterly magazine, and regularly updated online. They also raise money for local charities, mainly Alzheimer’s, Aprona, Aspandem and Cudeca.

New members are welcome – annual membership is only €15. Why not go along for coffee? You will be assured of a warm welcome.

For more information contact Denise Ghazi, President, on 952 810989, or visit www. capsonlinemag.net.

CASA ABRIL - Childrens Refuge

Snr. Juan Antonio Ortiz, President of ‘Casa Abril’ Childrens Refuge, received monies raised by the Easter Charity Bike Ride held on 30th April starting from P.N. de Guadiaro.

Peter of Don Neumaticos said that the bike numbers this year were disappointing, but is confident that next year will be even better.

The event’s aim is to bring a smile to the faces of the children at the refuge.

Those that made it had an enjoyable time at the ACE Café-Duquesa BBQ, which raised

212€. Elizabeth Gould raised 140€ from her ladies events and other donations brought the total to 500€. Manilva Mums donated toys, clothes and more.

Peter says an event like this brings the best out of people and again many thanks to those that made the day a success. If anyone would like to make further donations, be it cash, clothes, furniture, computers, etc., contact Peter on 956 794 657.

de sus señas de identidad como sus escenarios integrados en el casco urbano.

La oferta de esta edición se completa con los ganadores del “II Ojeando Nuevos talentos”, el concurso de bandas organizado por el festival que este año han ganado los jiennenses “Three Alien Cats”, a la que acompañará “The Inks” una banda de jóvenes marbellíes y por los granadinos “Aurora” y “Sasi and The Cachemirs” como finalistas. Ojeando se ha destacado desde su primera edición por ser una plataforma de despegue para las bandas andaluzas.

Ojeando has proven itself as a great platform for Andalucian bands.

The festival is a great start to the summer and can be enjoyed by everyone, free of charge.

Exhibition of Art

Featuring works by Sheila Mary Thompson Estepona Port Business and Internet Centre 15 June – 14 July When I was young my ambition was to be an architect and although I had done well in my finals there seemed to be no vacancies for girls at that time.

I took a post at the local Essex Agricultural College in the Biology Department where I was given the task of making teaching materials and large posters of anatomical subjects for use in the lectures. Six years later I went to Teacher Training College and was able to have some experience of craftwork of various kinds as well as studying Biology.

When I married the demands of raising a family and teaching kept me busy but I was

able to use my drawing ability in teaching which was a great success especially with young children when I started my own Nursery School.

I have been fortunate to travel widely and I try to paint what I have experienced but again and again I return to my imagination and to me it all resolves around curves and colours and how they relate to each other.

Painting has opened my eyes to the beauty around us if we can allow ourselves to see it.

Domingo, 19 Junio 20.00 h 2009 marcó una nueva etapa en la carrera musical de John Mayall. Una vez disueltos los Bluesbreakers – con quienes nos visitó en el XVIII Festival de Jazz–, Mayall reúne una nueva banda; savia nueva para acompañar a una de las leyendas más prolíficas e indiscutibles del blues y nuevo trabajo de estudio en el mercado. Con Tough, su 57 álbum de estudio, Mayall vuelve a demostrar por qué se le conoce como “el Padrino del blues británico”. En él aborda temas como los conflictos en las relaciones humanas o los que acontecen en el mundo actual, las trampas de las tentaciones y, siempre, la promesa de esperanza.

Desde muy joven, el guitarrista, organista, armonicista y cantante John Mayall (Macclesfield, Cheshire, Reino Unido,1933) empezó a desarrollar su propia personalidad en el blues. Padrino musical en los 60 de artistas como Eric Clapton, Peter Green o Mick Taylor, reverenciado por sus trabajos innovadores con Blue Mitchell, Red Holloway, Larry Taylor o por su participación en directos con John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, etc. Mayall es una figura clave en la música contemporánea y artífice de nuevos patrones dentro del rock blues. Cabe esperar una clase magistral de uno de los sabios más sabios del blues.

Sunday June 19, 8 pm Pioneering English blues singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, John Mayall has enjoyed a musical career spanning over fifty years, but the most notable episode in it occurred during the late 1960s. He was the founder of John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and, as a gifted talentscout, has been influential in the careers of many instrumentalists, including Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Peter Green, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Don “Sugarcane” Harris, Harvey Mandel, Larry Taylor, Aynsley Dunbar, Hughie Flint, Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Andy

Fraser, Johnny Almond, Walter Trout, Coco Montoya, and Buddy Whittington.

After years of touring and recording John Mayall decided to disband the Bluesbreakers in 2008, but after enjoying the freedom of doing his own thing he put together a new band in 2009 and since then has enjoyed touring on a more limited basis.

You can see John Mayall at Malaga’s Teatro Cervantes on Sunday June 19 from 8 pm. Tickets are available online at www. generaltickets.com/unicaja/ priced from 15€ to 45€.

Thailand and Japan, among others, and has debuted in 160 cities worldwide.

35 years ago, on April 6th, 1974 to be precise, a group comprised by four Swedish artists won the Eurovision Song Festival with a song called “Waterloo.” ABBA – an acronym made up of the first letters of the artists’ names – has sold over 360 million albums worldwide. “Dancing Queen,” “Summer Night City,” “Chiquitita,” “VoulezVous,” “Gimme! gimme! gimme!,” “Take a chance on me” and “The Winner Takes It All” are some of their hits, and most have reached number one on all the charts.

Rockeros en la Costa

Al principio del mes de mayo, cientos de motoristas llegaron a Manilva, precisamente al bar “Ace Café” para celebrar su inauguración.

Al igual que su homónimo de Londres, el Ace Café, cerca del Puerto de la Duquesa, se encargó de la comida y

bebida de moteros de todos los ámbitos de la vida, corredores de fin de semana o fraternidades de motorista aficionados. Además de ser un bar, el Ace Café también cuenta con un servicio de reparación de motocicletas en colaboración con la fraternidad Motos Patriota (www. lapatriotamotos.co.uk).

Durante los festejos había música en vivo proporcionada por el grupo “Rock Costa” que subió al escenario durante la tarde del sábado. El domingo fue el turno de los “Beer Bellys”, un conjunto español de Rock’n’Roll y Rockabilly.

Durante el fin de semana también se celebró el primer aniversario de la formación del Club de motoristas, los Patriot Nómadas, una rama del Patriot Motorcycle Club.

MickRik y Wiggie, dos miembros de los Patriots, nos comentaron que la fraternidad es mucho más que eso, es más una hermandad formada por personas con los mismos intereses y una pasión por sus motocicletas.

Bar - Cafetería SNACKS LIGHT MEALS BREAKFAST

Rockers hit the Costa THundreds of bikers pitched up earlier this month to celebrate the opening of Manilva’s ‘Ace Cafe’. Like its London namesake the Ace Cafe, near Duquesa, caters to motorcyclists from all walks of life whether weekend riders or the dedicated biker fraternity. Besides the usual bar services, the Ace Cafe also boast an on site motorcycle repair service in the shape of Patriota Motos (www.lapatriotamotos. co.uk).

To help the party along there was live music provided by the ever popular Costa Rock who took the stage on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday it was the turn of the Beer Bellys, a slick Spanish Rock’n’Roll/ Rockabilly fourpiece, who had the place rocking.

The weekend was also organised to celebrate the 1st Anniversary of the formation of the Patriot Nomads Motorcycle Club, a chapter of the Patriot Motorcyle Club.

During the weekend, I took the opportunity to have a chat with MickRik and Wiggie, both members of the Patriots, to find out more about the Patriots MC. The Patriots MC is a motorcycle club, actually motorcycle club doesn’t adequately describe it, more of a brotherhood, comprising of likeminded individuals all of whom share a love of the biker way of life, with the added proviso that to be a member you must have, or currently be, a serving member in the armed forces.

The Patriots was founded some 14 years ago and has a number of chapters, membership of which depends on nationality, branch of the forces, etc., with the Nomads being founded a year ago for expat members. Despite the differences all Patriots share the same creed, that of ‘Brothers in Arms’ which they proudly display on their jackets.

Q

ue a partir de ahora sienta la mesura de la mañana y mi pensamiento esté dispuesto a la luz, con la paciencia y la llama, con el sonido del universo que habla, con el canto del pájaro; ese es el espíritu hallado, el de la entrega a vivir cada día, para colmarse, que me invita a caminar humilde, sencillo y firme hasta llegar a dominar las olas de un mar embravecido, hasta dominar con la fe el vacío y las sombras.

Que a partir de ahora, desde este momento, donde alzo mi vista y veo salir el sol pariendo en el horizonte su

niño de luz, sea cómplice con la sierra y los pinos, con las flores del valle y las siembras, con los obreros del mundo y sus condados de agua, con la vida templada por el cantor que me envía cada día su voz y su música, sustancia de vida en el polen de la flor agraciada.

Que a partir de ahora, sea amor que se derrama, trabajo tenaz que propone la dicha.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “El vigor de las olas” (1983-2011)

Pensar, ser niño en la barca

...El mar actúa de forma increíble, que, de una forma vertiginosa, hace que la ola avance sobre la arena, te llame en la orilla, y busca tus pensamientos para hacerlos navegar.

Pensar es importante, declarar razones que sustenten el vivir; filosofía del hombre, alma del pensamiento y la razón que mide el espíritu por su emoción y su sentir.

Pensar, ser niño en la barca, navegar hasta la orilla, encontrar una hoja de agua, una niña de flores, un mundo que madura en las olas;

ya el hombre navegante, y que quiere partir, marinero en la proa, el hombre se va, el pensamiento queda, ninguno de los dos tiene por qué morir.

Pensar, misterios de la vida, razón pero imaginación también, también hay que sentir. ¿quién puede resolverlos?

(La cuántica, lo poco en mucho arde.)

Ya lo dijo Descartes, pensar es existir.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “El vigor de las olas” (1983-2011)

Cuánta fuerza en la ola donde viaja el viento, donde las ondas no resuelven fronteras, y las arenas desean una comitiva de algas para detener el impulso de una marea gigante.

Oh vaivén, corazón de viento que se engancha a las aguas y se reclina, corazón que se impulsa, se mueve, y hasta llega al tsunami en estas impresiones de terremotos y volcanes submarinos.

(Y me pregunto si toma en serio el mundo tanta furia.)

El vigor de las olas, cuánta fuerza, fronteras del mar besan la playa.

Olas, reinas del continente de mi alma, no matad mi horizonte, no doblad mi esperanza.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera Del libro: “El vigor de las olas” (1983-2011)

La ola me derrumbó pero no me ahogué.

Doy gracias a ese día en que descubrí mis errores humanos, y a través de ellos divisé el camino que aun quedaba por andar y conseguí llenar mi casa de felicidad.

A Healthier Life

JoJo France and Claudia Norris

Welcome to The Resident Fitness & Food column written by personal trainer JoJo France and nutritional therapist Claudia Norris.

With the weather warming up and lazy afternoons and evenings ahead at the chiringuitos, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to rack up the calories without even realising. Not many of us would drink a cup of cream, yet we would quite easily knock back a couple of shots of Vodka. This month weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at exactly how many calories are in various drinks and what that equates to in terms of food and exercise.

The UK Department of Health carried out research showing a regular beer drinker, who downed five pints a week or 250 over the course of a year, packed away the same number of calories as someone eating 221 doughnuts over the space of 12 months. It also revealed the average wine drinker consumed 2,000 calories each month. Over the course of a year, that is the equivalent of eating an extra 38 roast beef dinners.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the calories in drinks themselves which can help pile on the kilos, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also more likely to eat fatty foods after a drink or two. So, choose your drinks wisely this summer and keep up with JoJoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exercise recommendations...

Cuatro medallas para el Club Internacional de Esgrima en Campeonato de Andalucía de Esgrima de menores de 17 años

Manilva Netball Club

Manilva Netball Club have now been together for a couple of years. The club brings together ladies from all walks of life, and regularly competes in local competitions.

They are currently looking for more players, so if you fancy playing then feel free to go along and join in. Don’t worry if

El pasado mes se celebró el Campeonato de Andalucía de esgrima en la categoría de menores de 17 años en Maracena (Granada).

El Club Internacional de Esgrima de Estepona realizó una muy buena actuación obteniendo la tiradora Cristina Ocaña la medalla de bronce, culminando una temporada exitosa para la tiradora esteponense.

El mejor resultado para el club se obtuvo en la competición por equipos.

Las tiradoras Ana Romero, Olatz Bilbao y Cristina Ocaña perdieron por un solo tocado la final con el equipo local, remontando una desventaja de 10 tocados y empatando el encuentro en el último segundo. En el tiempo añadido un tocado separó a las bravas deportistas de ser campeonas de Andalucía.

Este segundo puesto sitúa a la esgrima

femenina de Estepona entre las mejores de Andalucía gracias al esfuerzo de las tiradores y en especial de su maestra Rosibel Vindel que está consiguiendo que gran cantidad de tiradoras jóvenes alcancen brillantes éxitos deportivos en las competiciones andaluzas y españolas.

Buen resultado también para Gonzalo Toledo que con solo 13 años compitió con los mejores tiradores menores de 17 años de Andalucía clasificándose entre los 15 mejores en su primer Campeonato Andaluz.

Estos resultados auguran una buena temporada para el Club Internacional de Esgrima de Estepona cuyos objetivos están puestos en el Campeonato de Andalucía absoluto que se celebrará en Almería el mes de junio.

Four medals for International Fencing Club at the U17 Andalucia Fencing Championships Last month the U17 Andalucia Fencing Championships were held in Maracena, Granada. The International Fencing Club of Estepona once again put in a good performance with Cristina Ocaña taking the Bronze medal, and concluding a very successful season for the Estepona swordswoman.

The best result though was reserved for the Club which achieved second place in the Women’s Competition, just losing out in the dying seconds to the Andalucian Champions.

This is good news for the team, and especially for the trainer, Rosibel Vindel, who is achieving excellent results at Andalucian and National level.

There were good results also from Gonzalo Toledo, who at only 13 years of age competed with some of the best in the under-17s, achieving a top 15 ranking in the Andalucian Championship.

These results point to a good season for the International Fencing Club of Andalucia which looks forward to the Andalucian Championships in Almeria this month.
